Towerstream - Minimizing the Risk of Unplanned Downtime by Ensuring Redundancy
Companies today rely heavily on the
internet to conduct business. The risks and effects from unplanned downtime grow
with each additional critical application, network enhancement or system
upgrade. Most businesses that suffer catastrophic data loss, or an extended IT
outage, go out of business.
Executives are looking to their IT managers for
assurances that information assets-data and applications – can remain available
no matter what happens. In the event of downtime, one or more productive
resources are taken off-line from staff; computers, communications, facility,
etc. A network failure could cripple an organization costing thousands of
dollars in lost revenue.
Companies need to understand what is the amount of
equity that, if lost, would cause severe damage to the organization and put in
place measures to minimize the risk of unplanned downtime. |
